Abstract

A method for processing moving pictures in response to the user's actions. A variable moving picture creation module, variation moving picture reproduction module and variable moving picture transmission module are employed in the method. The variable moving picture creation module creates a variable moving picture to be created in response to the user's actions. The variable moving picture reproduction module reproduces the variable moving picture so that the variable moving picture is realistically reproduced. The variable moving picture transmission module transmits the variable moving picture to a receiver's E-mail server, personal data assistant (PDA), mobile communication terminal, computer or etc. over the Internet so that the variable moving picture is reproduced in response to the actions of the user being a receiver. Accordingly, an idea and intention of a transmitter user can be implemented in an enjoyable and interesting manner.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method for processing moving pictures in response to a user's actions, comprising the steps of: 
 a) allowing a variable moving picture creation module to analyze predicted actions of a receiver receiving the moving pictures;    b) allowing the variable moving picture creation module to create a plurality of partial moving pictures corresponding to types of the predicted actions analyzed at the step a);    c) allowing the variable moving picture creation module to set reproduction information of respective partial moving pictures created at the step b); and    d) allowing the variable moving picture creation module to create a variable moving picture by combining the partial moving pictures created at the step b) and the reproduction information created at the step c).    
     
     
         2 . The method as set forth in  claim 1 , further comprising the step of: 
 e) allowing the variable moving picture creation module to set predetermined content synthesis information with respect to the respective partial moving pictures created at the step b); and    f) allowing the variable moving picture creation module to create another variable moving picture having the content synthesis information by further combining the content synthesis information with the variable moving picture.    
     
     
         3 . The method as set forth in  claim 2 , wherein the contents include at least one of a partial sound, a partial scent, a partial text and a partial graphic.  
     
     
         4 . The method as set forth in any one of  claims 1  to  3 , wherein the reproduction information set at the step c) includes setting information relating to a partial moving picture to be first produced.  
     
     
         5 . The method as set forth in  claim 4 , wherein the step c) includes the step of setting the production information so that the respective partial moving pictures are selectively produced in response to a receiver's action.  
     
     
         6 . The method as set forth in  claim 5 , wherein the respective partial moving pictures are real moving pictures captured by moving capturing means.  
     
     
         7 . The method as set forth in  claim 5 , wherein the respective partial moving pictures have a part of real moving pictures captured by moving capturing means and another real moving picture synthesized with it.  
     
     
         8 . The method as set forth in  claim 5 , wherein the respective partial moving pictures have a part of real moving pictures captured by moving capturing means and a graphic synthesized with it.  
     
     
         9 . A method for processing moving pictures in response to a user's actions, comprising the steps of: 
 a) allowing a variable moving picture transmission module to receive selection information of a variable moving picture from a client terminal connected to a network;    b) allowing the variable moving picture transmission module to receive selection information of contents to be synthesized with respective partial moving pictures of the variable moving picture selected at the step a);    c) allowing the variable moving picture transmission module to synthesize the partial moving pictures of the variable moving picture with the contents selected at the step b); and    d) allowing the variable moving picture transmission module to transmit the partial moving pictures synthesized at the step c) or their access information to a receiver's terminal.    
     
     
         10 . The method as set forth in  claim 9 , further comprising the step of: 
 e) allowing the variable moving picture transmission module to receive variable moving picture receiver information.    
     
     
         11 . The method as set forth in  claim 10 , wherein the variable moving picture receiver information includes a receiver's E-mail address, the receiver's PDA Internet protocol (IP) address, a mobile IP address of the receiver's mobile communication terminal and an IP address of the receiver's computer.  
     
     
         12 . The method as set forth in any one of  claims 9  to  11 , wherein the contents include at least one of a partial sound, a partial scent, a partial text and a partial graphic.  
     
     
         13 . The method as set forth in claim any one of  claims 9  to  11 , wherein the step d) includes the step of 
 transmitting the access information linked to the variable moving picture to the receiver's terminal in response to a receiver's terminal request where the access information for the partial moving pictures synthesized is transmitted.  
 
     
     
         14 . The method as set forth in  claim 12 , wherein the step d) includes the step of transmitting the access information linked to the variable moving picture to the receiver's terminal in response to a receiver's terminal request where the access information for the partial moving pictures synthesized is transmitted.  
     
     
         15 . A method for processing moving pictures in response to a user's actions, comprising the steps of: 
 a) allowing a variable moving picture reproduction module to separate respective partial moving pictures and reproduction information from a variable moving picture;    b) allowing the variable moving picture reproduction module to reproduce a first partial moving picture on the basis of the reproduction information separated at the step a);    c) allowing the variable moving picture reproduction module to determine using the reproduction information whether there is a second partial moving picture corresponding to a predetermined action when the predetermined action has been taken by the user; and    d) allowing the variable moving picture reproduction module to reproduce the second partial moving picture if there is the second partial moving picture corresponding to the predetermined action at the step c).    
     
     
         16 . The method as set forth in  claim 15 , further comprising the step of: 
 e) allowing the variable moving picture reproduction module to receive the variable moving picture or its access information from a server.    
     
     
         17 . The method as set forth in  claim 16 , wherein the step e) includes the step of receiving the variable moving picture linked to the access information from the server when the access information linked to the variable moving picture is received.  
     
     
         18 . The method as set forth in any one of  claims 15  to  17 , wherein the step a) includes the step of separating contents synthesized with the partial moving pictures and content synthesis information from the variable moving picture; and the steps b) and d) include the step of synthesizing and reproducing the contents corresponding to the partial moving picture on the basis of the content synthesis information when the partial moving picture is reproduced.  
     
     
         19 . The method as set forth in any one of  claims 15  to  17 , wherein the contents include at least one of a partial sound, a partial scent, a partial text and a partial graphic.
